Default Moving/deleting pictures within charts via macros

Hi,

Could you please help me...

I have a chart on excel and a macro is run each day to produce or update
this chart.

problem I am having is within the chart I have a picture (A traffic light) I
tried to record a macro that selects the picture, deletes it then gets the
picture from somewhere else (Red, amber or green light depending)on the same
sheet and pastes it onto the chart. Now it gets the picture fine and pastes
it onto the chart but it wont do the delete part ??? or it wont let me select
the picture and move it on the chart ??? (Think the prob is actually
selecting the picture within the chart ??? Not sure why this is, could you
please help me ?????

this is the code that Dont work...:
'ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 55").Activate
error here - 'ActiveChart.Shapes("Picture 2").Select
'Selection.Delete

Thanks
